The Kite - Laid-Back luxury beside the Abel Tasman

Welcome to Pemako Farm's "The Kite"... laid-back, modern, boutique accommodation purpose built for those desiring quality, luxury and seclusion only a few minutes from the start of New Zealand's most popular National Park.

Venture up the magical Marahau Valley to your own hidden sanctuary set amongst our 25 acre farm. The babbling waters of the Marahau River flow through the length of our farm and the shimmering hills of the Abel Tasman grace every vista. Wake to the singing of native birds, enjoy all the Abel Tasman National Park has to offer right on your doorstep, and unwind at the end of the day amidst the private, purpose-built surrounds of your own luxury villa.

Upon your arrival you will be greeted with a welcome basket featuring a selection of local nibbles and beverages, including locally made muesli for your morning breakfast.

It is our sincere pleasure to invite you to experience The Kite and we strive to do whatever it takes to offer you the best trip possible. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to accommodate special requests or needs you may have.

**Special conditions and notes**:

Our recommendation is to spend a minimum of three to four nights at the Kite, so you can truly take advantage of all the varied activities in the area, and feel refreshed for the rest of your NZ adventure.

One-night stays may be possible at a surcharge. Please make an inquiry and we will send a special offer.

The Kite is part of our STAY FOR GOOD programme. Five percent of all gross proceeds will be donated to charities in New Zealand and across the globe that focus on giving children a better life.

There is a small sealed ford crossing to arrive to the Kite. This access is generally accessible for all cars, as nearly all of our guests have small, 2 -wheel drive rental vehicles. The only exception to this is the very rare day or two per year in time of extreme flood.

**Payment, Bond/Security Deposit and Cancellation**:

- A 30% deposit secures your stay with the balance due 3 weeks prior to your arrival (full payment will be required if booking within 3 weeks of arrival).

- Three weeks prior to your arrival (or immediately if booking within 3 weeks of arrival), you'll need to provide a card authority for the bond/security deposit via our secure online check in process.

- Cancel anytime up until 3 weeks prior to arrival for any reason and you'll pay no more than 30% of the booking total.

- Where compassionate circumstances for cancellation exist, we'll be happy to look at further flexibility, usually in the form of postponement of your stay, or a credit towards future stay dates.

- A Rental Agreement document is provided as part of the booking process. Please refer to the agreement for full terms and conditions :-)

The location of this property is wonderfully secluded, surrounded by mature trees, dense shrubs and plants. The birdlife is amazing and you really feel you are in nature. The property is cozy but with most facilities - the outside bath is a highlight.
